Town board backs traffic-safety board call for crosswalk at Park Lane and Gunk Creek near town park
Summary
The board supported a traffic-safety board recommendation to add an accessible crosswalk at the Park Lane/Gunk Creek corner by the town park and directed staff to coordinate with the town engineer and developer; the motion passed at the workshop.
The Grand Island Town Board voted to support a Traffic Safety Board recommendation that an accessible crosswalk be added at the new corner of Park Lane and Gunk Creek to improve pedestrian access to the town park.
The town’s highway superintendent and the traffic-safety board had reviewed the connection between Park Lane and Gunk Creek and concluded a crosswalk — including an accessible crossing — should be added to allow safe access to the park. At the workshop the board moved to support the resolution and directed that the town engineer or appropriate staff (Bob was identified as the point person) work with the contractor or developer to accomplish the work. Board members said the town highway department could perform the work if necessary, but if the developer or contractor can do it, that would be preferable.
A motion to support the traffic-safety board recommendation was made, seconded and approved. The supervisor directed that the resolution and associated materials be given to Bob for follow-up with the contractor and developer. The workshop record shows the motion passed with affirmative votes; specific roll-call names were not recorded in the transcript excerpt.
